  • Patent number: 11469333
    Abstract: A Schottky diode includes an upper region having a first doping concentration of a first conductivity type, the upper region disposed above the SiC substrate and extending up to a top planar surface. First and second layers of a second conductivity type are disposed in the upper region adjoining the top planar surface and extending downward to a depth. Each of the first and second layers has a second doping concentration, the depth, first doping concentration, and second doping concentration being selected such that the first and second layers are depleted of carriers at a zero bias condition of the Schottky diode. A top metal layer disposed along the top planar surface in direct contact with the upper region and the first and second layers is the anode, and bottom metal layer disposed beneath the SiC substrate is the cathode, of the Schottky diode.

  • Patent number: 11258780
    Abstract: Methods and systems for securing a data connection for communicating between two end-points are described herein. One of the end-points may be a server and the other of the end-points may be a client that wants to communicate with the server. The data connection may be secured based on a previously-established secure connection and/or a self-signed or self-issued certificate. In some variations, by using the previously-established secure connection and/or a self-signed or self-issued certificate, the secure communication between the server and the client may be conducted without using a third-party authentication service and without requiring a third-party CA to issue a certificate for the server.

  • Publication number: 20200353961
    Abstract: In one aspect of the present disclosure, an apparatus for locating a mobile railway asset is provided that includes a power source, GNSS circuitry configured to utilize electrical power from the power source to receive GNSS data, and a controller operatively coupled to the power source and the GNSS circuitry. The controller has a power saving mode wherein the controller inhibits the GNSS circuitry from receiving GNSS data and a standard accuracy mode wherein the controller permits the GNSS circuitry to receive GNSS data for a first time period. The controller has a higher accuracy mode wherein the controller permits the GNSS circuitry to receive GNSS data for a second time period longer than the first time period, and subsequently across multiple instances, in order to collect more GNSS data that can be qualified, filtered, sorted, and averaged to produce a more accurate result.
